In other words, the preset labeled as "super fast" (for example) now has what I assume to be roughly the same amount of overdrive gain attached to it, as the "normal" preset has in non-VRR operation.

However, if you’re looking for a monitor that will fully immerse you with eye-popping resolutions and vision-filling images, then you’re better off looking at monitors such as the ultra-wide AOC Agon AG352UCG. You can further improve slight ghosting trail this monitor has with contrast and reducing the G gain out of RGB in osd custom colors (there's more in this thread discussion: viewtopic. Thanks to the improvements in graphics card technology, you don’t have to make too much of a compromise with frame rates if you want to push higher resolutions – although the response time of the monitor may take a slight hit.I recently bought 240hz aw2518hf for 230 used and i noticed its slightly more blurry than my bros 144hz benq, but since i dont play fps i dont really care. The colors are also decent for a TN panel, but not nearly as vibrant as they are on IPS or VA panel monitors.

Hi, I'm using this monitor for competitive fps games and I was wondering which overdrive setting is the best? Overall, the measured contrast ratio is a bit shy of the specified 1,000:1, but the brightness performance is perfect as it peaks a bit over 400-nits with consistent and uniform luminance. One should use the overdrive preset, which results in the least amount of image artifacts, not the one which is labeled the most eye-catchingly. The Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor AW2518H is the first gaming monitor from the well-known PC gaming brand, and if you’ve kitted yourself out with one of Alienware’s impressive gaming PCs, such as the Area 51 Threadripper Edition, then it’s an ideal accompaniment.

I'm guessing it's input lag is great but pixel response is slightly higher than other 240hz because it's colors are way too good. Playing on the preset, which was named "super fast" by the monitor manufacturer won't suddenly make your monitor super fast.Anyway when I put it on normal overdrive it has more input lag and so much motion blur I get headache.

Joseph has probably spent thousands of hours learning about displays in his free time and prior work experience at HP. You're not increasing input lag (which you seem to confuse with response time) by using a lower pixel overdrive setting, and vice-versa, you're not decreasing it, by using the preset, which they misleadingly labeled "super fast".
